The gift of the cross
“One cannot desire freedom from the cross when one is especially chosen for the cross.” St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross
The gift of suffering
God and Mary step into the void..
“When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive” Paulo Coelho
God and Mary know when we lose a loved one, and they are quick to jump into that void and fill it with their love!
Allow God and Mary to step in…
Wait a bit…
“It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.” The Time Machine-H.G. Wells
Controlling your reactions…
Holy parents…
“As the children grow up you feel that you are an example, a support for them; that even after you die your children will always keep your thoughts and feelings, because they have received them from you, they will take on your semblance and likeness. So you see this is a great duty.” Fyodor Doestovsky
I could never thank my mom and dad enough for putting Christ first, their marriage second and for their selfless dedication to their 4 children…so grateful!!
